MINOK PERENNIAL SPRINGS. 349
BOBEGO SPRING (SAN DIEGO 6).
A few perennial springs of small flow issue in the hills on the
western side of Colorado Desert and form watering places on the
main lines of travel. Borego Spring, one of these watering places, is
on the west bank of a broad wash, 33 miles by road northeastward
from the mining town of Julian. The water rises in a small area of
salt grass and rushes. It is alkaline but is the only water to be
obtained in the locality.

VALLECITO SPRINGS (SAN DIEGO 8).
Vallecito Springs are about 33 miles by road south of east from
Julian. The locality, which was formerly a station on one of the
stage lines between San Diego and the East, is still marked by an
adobe building, and a trough near it affords a convenient watering
place. Water of fair quality issues at these springs, which are in a
small valley along Vallecito Creek.

CABBIZO SPBINGS (SAN DIEGO 11).
Carrizo Springs lie about 18 miles eastward from Vallecito Springs.
This place also was formerly a station on the overland stage road,
which is still the main route between Julian and Imperial Valley,
and the springs form a much appreciated watering place. The water
issues in the wash of Carrizo Creek in a number of springs that furnish
supplies of fair quality. A considerable flow of more alkaline water
rises in a tule marsh near by.
Clay beds of Tertiary age that are eroded into a typical bad-land
surface lie against the mountain slopes at this locality.

MASON BANCH SPBINGS (SAN DIEGO 10).
The Mason ranch is about 5 miles northeast of Carrizo Springs.
It is supplied by springs of good quality that have been in part
developed in the slopes of the locality. The ranch forms a watering
place that is well known to travelers over the road past it.
MOUNTAIN SPBING (SAN DIEGO 18).
Mountain Spring is close to the southern border of the State, on one
of the main roads between San Diego and Imperial Valley. It has been
used as a watering place since the days of the stage line from San
Diego to Yuma, when there was a station at the spring. The water
issues in a ravine near the top of a steep grade down to the valley land
and is piped to a trough at the roadside. It is of very good quality
and of ample flow. In recent years it has been improved by the
county for the use of travelers.
